Career
Born in Glasgow, Munro developed a reputation as a prolific goalscorer while playing for St Johnstone.[1] During his time with the club, he was selected in a Scottish Football Association XI that travelled to Canada in 1927.[2] In February 1929, he signed for Cardiff City as a replacement for Hughie Ferguson but was unable to replicate his form in the Football League. He was allowed to join Millwall soon after but struggled to break into the first team before returning to St Johnstone.[1]
